Obscure sports that get more mainstream media than bodybuilding
« on: April 27, 2007, 09:34:34 AM »
* Curling

* Table Tennis

* Ten pin bowling

* Bicycle Jousting

* Tug O war

* Archery

* Wet T-shirt competition

* Darts


The only thing these sports have on bodybuilding is you can be drunk and still be pretty decent. Surely there are more folk interested in BB than darts?

Darts is a huge game or it is in Britain and Ireland.  Loads of people would know who Phil "The Power" Taylor is, but I bet no-one knows who Ernie Taylor is :P

Competitive cup stacking. I saw this shit called curling, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT you fucking run down ice swirling a stick around a piece of marble or something? ABSOLUTELY GAYEST SPORT OF ALL FUCKING TIME. Oh yeah poker is sick if you were any good you might like watching it.

the fact that bodybuilding doesn't get much mainstream coverage is one of the main reasons it's cool

I hate what mma is becoming :-\

I was in a shop today and saw they had two diff magazines about poker.
One about "fitness" (Men's Health).

Says enough.

This doesn't sound to good.  You make it sound like unless you are a Pro you are not a bodybuilder.  Maybe you should think sometimes before your fingers go crazy on the keyboard.
